No difficulties can stand before Faith: Doct. 3 True saving, justifying Faith, carries the soul through all difficulties, discouragements, and natural impossibilities to Jesus Christ.

Abraham had a promise given him, that his seed should be as the stars of Heaven: and that in his seed all the Nations of the world should be blest. Upon this promise, Abraham's body is dead, and Sarahs body is dead: Now Abraham believes. Being not weak in Faith, he considered not ⟨p. 193⟩the deadness of his own body. And in this he had an eye unto Jesus Christ: for this was imputed to him for righteousness; and herein he is held forth as an example to us that believe with a justifying faith, in this chapter. So that where ever there is true, saving, justifying faith, it carries a man through all difficulties, through all natural discouragements.
